About

I am Neelima Prasanna Aryan (also known as Nilofer), a self-taught graphic-designer and illustrator. I design and illustrate book covers, create visual content from data, and art direct picture books for children.

I started my career in 2004, working with film festivals such as Experimenta and the International Film Festival of Kerala. For four years between 2015-2019, I held the role of senior designer at Penguin Random House India. Prior to this, I worked with India Foundation for the Arts, Bangalore, as a communication designer and website manager between 2010-15.

Cat humom, city-hopper, feminist and queer, lover of all things delectable and kooky; my art is not for the light-hearted or the narrow-minded for they are mostly loud, about women, large bodies, self and queer, love and intimacies.

If you request nicely, I may even sing for you a bit.
